    I have heard both good and bad about the super bands for the flippers. I think I'm going to try a set anyways, but has anyone tried the post sleeves? I'm tempted to give them a try but I'm a little afraid they will just be too bouncy and zing the ball back around instead of absorbing some of the impact and slowing the ball down a little.

    If you are talking about the little super bands that fit on the posts I have several on my machines (5). I am not real sure there is that much of a difference in play (bounce) but they sure look better. Especially the red and green.

    Marco and Pinball life in North America. The sleeves are available in a couple sizes, as are the mini posts. They have more rebound than the Cliffy products. These have been used in many PAPA machines for a while now.

    You may have gotten the ones for bally/williams games. It appears there is a seperate part number for DE/sega/stern games

    I've had them on my Scared Stiff for quite awhile and really like them. They are MUCH bouncier though, so what works for my taste (always looking to speed things up) may not be what you are looking for. All in all they look great and add some speed and nastiness to gameplay.

    I have them on my T2. They are quite a bit more "bouncy" that old, dried out black rubber post sleeves...

    I think they are a bit more bouncy than the rubber but on some games, that just adds to the FUN!

    I am about bling and low maintenance. For game play, they are bouncier.
